At a meet- ing-held in the chamber of commerce recently local milk dealers, with the statement that they were getting to- gether and adjusting the price, adopt- ed 14 cents as the price per quart. This resulted in falling off of sales. August being a slow month for milk under any conditon, the raise in price when other prices are going the other direction and the lack of money with which to meet advancing prices on tho part of many people caused a consid- erable falling off in sales. This was the cause of a large amount of surplus milk accumlating on the market. Quick to take advantage of this con- dition and not wishing to see. their money lost entirely, individaul farm- ers began bringing milk into the city and selling it from door to door at prices ranging as low as eight cents ‘|2 quart. The result of this was shown by a large display in last night's Herald by the Farmers' Milk Company stat- ing that the price of milk sold by this concern has dropped from 14 cents to 11 cents per quart. At J. E. Sei- bert and sons it was stated this morn- ing that, although they were still ask- ing 14 cents for their milk, the sur- plus on the market and the drop in priceés by others was likely to force their prices down and that something might be heard from' them within a day or so. BRITISHERS WARNED TO EXE§CISE CARE Austen Chamberlain Advises Commons.

Mr. Chamberlain declared, ‘‘they will ot tak: any step which might jeopard- 1ze peack 'so long as’ there is any hope of securing it."” The government leader’'s declarztion was greeted with cheers. o far us the general public was cou- cerned it was apparently n a m: unable to interpret the annvancements from Dublin or to decide whether the peace principles had been definitely shattered.

CONSTANTINOPLE AND WAR Finnish Speaker Says Nervousness Over City Did Not Cause War Williamstown, Mass.,, Aug. 17.— Nervousness in Russia, as well as in Germany, over the ultimate control of Constantinople did much to percipi- tate the world war, said Baron Ser- gius A. Korff, former deputy governor of Finland and professor of law at Helsingfors university in a lecture on “‘Russia’s relations with the Balkans and Turkey,” at the institute of poli- tics here today. “There is no doubt,’” he said, “that the event sof 1914 which led to the great war were in no mean degree hastened by the nervous desire of Germany to assert her final influence in Constantinople while the young Turks had still a predominant influ- ence there. Germany could not have stood the chance of a second defeat and overthrow of the young Turks. TO RELEASE GEN. WOOD. U. of P. Is Expected to Permit Him to Accept Philippine Post.

When the apparation came, Fontano was the guest of Detective Michael Fiaschetti of the Italian squad. Fiaschetti re- lated today how he was roused by the sound of Fontano leaping from the bed to the window. “What’s the matter” he inquired of his fleeting guest. “I killed my best friend,” Fontano was quoted as replying, “and I see his ghost.” Then, the detective said, his guest toid him thiis story: “He was instructed from across the sca to ‘get’ Caizzo, but when he went forth to fulfill this mission, the attrac- tive personality of Caizzo disarmed him and they became.good friends. But Fontano had his orders, and on July 30 when they were out hunting together Fontano fired both barrels of a shotgun into his best friend’'s back.” Fonteno happened to be the guest of the detective because the detective balieved that the best way to a man's heart'was through his stomach. When he met Fontano last Sunday in the 200 he was anxious to learn what se. crets lay hidden in “good Kkillers’ heart, so he' invited him to dinner. ey became so clubby that a trip to theater followed and afterwards Fon- tano agreed to be the overnight guest of the detective.
